Chapter 2
After everyone was dismissed, except from the blue-eyed one looking at me in the 'meeting'. Superior took us to what I presumed was a hang-out for members, where he explained to me everything and how everything worked. "Serexan,"I cringed again, but as discreet as possible, so Xemnas didn't see. He didn't seem to like me wanting to keep my 'old' name."This is Roxas. He is also quite new to the Organisation, but all of my usual mentors for new recruits are away on important missions. Roxas will help you for a week, before you will have missions like everyone else, Serexan. Everyone here is equal." At that, the Superior left us alone. Roxas perched up."So, uh, what was your first name, Serexan?" I cringed again, but more obviously this time. The blonde noticed."Oh, you don't like being called that, huh?" I shook my head, before looking up."I guess I'd prefer it if you called me Serena. That's my actual name." Roxas smiled.
"Serena. That suits you better. Anyway,".
Roxas then proceeded to give me a tour of the castle, which was my new home. While doing so, he explained what every member is like, what they do, etcetera."Well, you've already met Xemnas, so one tip: don't get on his bad side." I gulped. Xemnas doesn't seem to be a person- or nobody- you want to have mad at you.
"Xigbar is kinda layed back, and he's actually quite funny! He's good to have around on missions." He seems okay, I guess, but I asked,"Is Xigbar the one with eye-patch, then?" Roxas nodded.
We carried on talking until I arrived at my room. When I looked inside, it was actually the most bland thing I'd ever seen-in both my few days of existence as a nobody, as well as what I could remember from before then! All that was in there was a bed, without covers. Maybe I could decorate it? Roxas started to talk again," Well, Serena. You'd better get some rest for tomorrow, because that's when we try to find your attribute and what weapon you use!"
"Attribute?" I asked. Roxas looked at me curiously, before sighing and smiling.
"Your attribute is like your element. Like how mine is light, or how Axel's is fire." I nodded, showing I understood. But what about Xion? I guess I'll ask Roxas tomorrow.
"Well I guess I'll see you tomorrow, then, Roxas."
"Right. Goodnight!"
"Night." At that Roxas left my room, leaving me alone in my own world, questioning my entire existence. Why do I exist? Why do I have memories of only Ash? I don't understand anything anymore. Maybe I could find answers in my sleep. I made my way over to my new bed, which turned out to be the most comfortable bed I'd ever laid on! All of my tensed muscles relaxed. And before I knew it, I was asleep.
During that first sleep as a nobody, I had the strangest dream possible: there were people talking to me, but I couldn't hear them properly, and everything was blurred. All I could make out were 4 people- one had blonde hair that went down past her shoulders- she was wearing a short, white dress with blue baby blue sandals.
Another was tall with hair that looked like superior, but was much straighter. The third had brown spiky hair, and was holding someone with dark red hair. She had her eyes closed. We were in a foggy room, and in front of me was a pod that looked like a flower, and there were glowing green bars that approached me. Everything was white, with a tint of blue. Then the white-haired one said something that was loud and clear,"It's time to get in.". I felt my heart racing a mile per minute. A tear fell down my cheek, and I closed my eyes. Then I felt a hand go on my shoulder- it was Ash's. But before I could see his face again, I jolted back into reality, Roxas at my bedside, and someone else with him.
"Serena, are you alright? You wouldn't wake up." I nodded."Yeah, I'm fine, just a really weird dream... uh, I don't mean to sound rude, but," I pointed to Xion."I'm not sure of which member you are... uh, Xion?" The girl smiled and replied, "Yeah, that's me! I wasn't in the meeting because there are only thirteen seats. Eventually they will build two more- one for me, and one for you, Serexan." I cringed once more at my new name , while Xion covered her mouth, realising how much I despised that name."Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't realise that you don't being called that. What would you prefer?"
"Serena. That's my name." Xion nodded, obviously understanding. She looked to Roxas.
"Roxas, shall we get going?" Wow, Xion is polite and formal! But why did she say 'we'?
"We? Xion, are you helping Roxas help me?" I asked. She stood up, along with Roxas.
"Kind of,"Roxas started."Xion hasn't found her attribute, either. But she uses the keyblade, like me!" Keyblade? Where have I heard that before? The blonde boy I was now familiar with interrupted my thoughts."Serena? Are you ready to get going? We only have a week to find your attribute!"
"Oh yeah! Let's go!"
